Oh, just to be 100% clear: the spec as written *now* more than allows for it. It mandates that the string be *at least* 36 chars, thus allowing for "origin tagging" on top of the existing 36 chars (as Michael Nordman explains it).
What Adrian wants is for the length requirement to be relaxed, so that it can be *less* than 36 chars. Adrian: is there any reason why MSFT can't use UUID anyway?
